Juventus have made the attack a top priority for the 2025/2026 season, with the club’s management actively exploring options to strengthen the frontline. Following the confirmation and contract renewal of coach Igor Tudor, and securing the continued presence of Kolo Muani and Conceicao for the Club World Cup, Juventus are now focusing on major moves in the transfer market.
Vlahovic’s Future Uncertain
La Gazzetta dello Sport report (as quoted by IlBianconero) how Dusan Vlahovic’s future remains a central issue. With his contract expiring in 2026 and his high salary weighing on the club’s finances, Juventus is considering a separation this summer. Club executive Damien Comolli has already held multiple discussions with Vlahovic, signalling that a significant change could be imminent in the attacking department.
Osimhen Back on Juventus’ Radar
Among the high-profile strikers potentially on the move this summer, Victor Osimhen stands out. The Nigerian forward, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has long been admired by Juventus. Recent reports confirm that new contacts have been made between Juventus and Osimhen’s representatives, demonstrating the club’s ongoing interest in the player despite the complexities of the deal.
Osimhen’s contract with Napoli includes a €75 million release clause, but this is only valid for foreign clubs. For Juventus, any deal would require direct negotiations with Napoli, a process complicated by the rivalry between the two clubs and Napoli’s reluctance to strengthen a direct competitor. Juventus, however, is reportedly willing to offer up to €85 million to secure Osimhen, signalling their determination to make a marquee signing for the new season.
Osimhen’s Preferences and Market Dynamics
Osimhen has turned down lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, most recently rejecting a move to Al Hilal, and is focused on staying in Europe, ideally in a top league. While Galatasaray would like to keep him, the striker’s ambitions are set on a bigger stage, making Juventus an attractive option if the clubs can reach an agreement.
